The Yusuf family fled Somalia - help them rebuild in Dublin

After fleeing Somalia, the Yusuf family has arrived in Dublin with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Dublin
My family left Somalia 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dublin. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a farmer in Somalia, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well. We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $4,150 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,850 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,350 • Language classes and bus passes: $220 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $730 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

        This could happen to any of us. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

            wishing you the best, Tadhg. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

              You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Dublin.
